Feeling Sad and Helpless

I've tried to blog about something health and fitness oriented but today all I can think about is my son's buddy and his family who are losing Alexs's brother to brain cancer. How do you wrap your arms around a little 7 yr old boy losing his life to brain cancer. It is heart wrenching to read the parents caring page site and to feel their pain and anger at having lost this battle. I am not sure how you get past that kind of heartbreak. My MIL lost a child before my husband was born to a brain tumor. Shortly there after her husband committed suicide out of grief. My MIL turned away from God, feeling anger at God at having lost her child and husband! It seemed her life was always a struggle after that. She's a wonderful Grandma but I often wonder if she would have been more at peace had she not turned from her faith. I have met others who turned to God when dealing with horrific losses like that and they seemed to find their way through their grief and pain. I pray that the White Family turns to God to ease their pain and grief. I hope any who reads this blog today join me in sending up prayers that God take away Zach's pain and pray for peace and comfort for the family as they deal with the unbearable loss of such a sweet child!
